What causes Outlook Express, IE and any other Office 2003 program to re-install everytime it is opened?

I installed MS Office 2003 over 6 months ago with no problems. In the last month, my family has had to wait for every app in the suite to reload whenever the app is opened.

I'm running WIN2000 Professional, and we each have a unique login, but regardless of who logs in, the app reinstall window shows and loads.

regards to you all!

The installer is probably running on startup. Check you startup folder (probably not there) then run msconfig and check the startup items. Uncheck the office installer entry, I don't remember the specific file name but think it has "install" in it.
